Srinagar Ladakh Tour Packages, Kashmir Ladakh Tour Packages

Pahalgam, one of the three most popular tourist places pahalgam in Kashmir is located towards the east of Srinagar. The road distance from Srinagar measures about 97 kms, however, the actual relative distance is much lesser. There are two routes to Pahalgam that go almost round; one on the northern side which deflects at Kangan and the most used one from Anantnag. Pahalgam, which means “the Herder’s Village” is a beautiful hamlet located in the foothills of mountain treks. The ridges slope down bringing the gushing waters of the major tributary of river Jhelum, the Lidder. The fast-flowing stream is famous for trout fishing, white water rafting and a general amusement to the tourists. It is a wonderful camping place. Unlike other resorts in Kashmir, Pahalgam has quite a marketplace where you can buy all the necessary amenities. One of the pleasant features is that the temperature is quite low compared to that recorded in the city. Grand pine and fir trees cover the entire area and the ridges that go beyond Pahalgam. Pahalgam is also famous as it offers one of the routes to the Amarnath caves, high up in the north. Every year thousands of Hindu pilgrims pay a visit to the caves and often en-route see this place. Special arrangements are made for the pilgrims. Many budget and three star hotels provide accommodation facilities. Tourists must be careful while eating out at Pahalgam, especially with the water. Although the icy clear water of Lidder appears drinkable, it is not. Pahalgam is an ideal place for travellers who like camping and trekking. Tents and other trekking gear are rented as a good number of tourists venture into this adventurous sport. The climbs are fascinating, huge rocks and boulders, rope and log bridges, streams and the terrain edges. Pahalgam serves as the base for such activities and the real sport and amusement begins high up where slope steeply ascend. For local visitors, Pahalgam offers other amusements like a small animal reserve, children’s amusement park, gardens and a trout fish farm. The fresh air and the stunning beauty presented by the landscape are the most admired features, be at the local or travellers who have crossed thousands of miles.
